GIN FROM THE HEARTH IN CANDLEKEEP

"The great library fortress of Candlekeep boasts a collection of lore and wisdom that calls to scholars far and wide. Many of its students spend years in the library’s stacks, barely venturing beyond the fortress walls. Thankfully, Candlekeep has its own fest hall to entertain its residents, a traditional tavern called the Hearth, with ink-stained blackwood boards, faded tapestries from long-dead kingdoms, and discrete nooks where patrons can hide away with an ancient spell tome or a trashy penny dreadful. Gin is a popular drink at the Hearth, with different botanical blends passed down like arcane lore and tattered handwritten recipes still sometimes found tucked into old books. Gin was first created as a healing juniper-infused tonic, with various alchemical scholars adding citrus, cardamom, angelica, and other botanicals like rose, coriander, lavender, or cinnamon to enhance the recipe. At some point the quest for medicine became secondary to the quest for a good martini."
